Summer seems to be making its presence felt, with the first week of the meteorological summer being characterised by sunny and warm weather, with maximum temperatures ranging between 30°C and 32°C, the Malta Met Office said.

It said that for the remainder of the week, the air temperature is expected to continue to vary between a maximum of 32°C and a minimum of 21°C.

UV index levels are also increasing, having reached level 10 by the end of last week, which, the Met Office, is considered very high. The UV index is set to remain at level 10 until tomorrow, following which it will decrease to level 9 until the end of the week.

The Met Office encouraged the public to visit maltametoffice.com for the latest weather forecasts and any warnings related to high temperatures and heat.
